It's too late to backport for 2.0.3 because it adds new strings.
After the 2.0.3 release we could backport it for a potential 2.0.4,
but I'm hoping we could start to consider a 2.1.x test release
sometime soon, if only to push out the additional changes in trunk for
things like g2 deprecated APIs.

I was HOPING we'd get the new register code and/or GDA finished, but I
think it depends on devs finishing that work.
